«Before cutting down a tree, some mandatory steps are necessary: an analytical report on each tree and sharing with citizens and associations. Without these minimum elements, any killing is an arbitrary act. The municipal administration cannot ignore it. These are some of the salient passages of a conference on greenery organized by Dr. Giovanni Guerra, very interesting and constructive.” Maria Grazia Cinquepalmi, former municipal councilor of Trani, writes this in a note.
«Useful advice was given by the many speakers to the administration for correct care of the greenery. The recurring concept repeated by everyone was the need for the administration to share and communicate with citizens and associations regarding the most impactful green interventions such as felling and that trees are living beings.
Fundamental step in the care of the city’s greenery completely ignored by our administrators and by those who manage the greenery in Trani with superficiality.
The president of the agronomists’ association, Dr. Milillo spoke about the well-being that greenery produces, well-kept urban greenery saves 30% on healthcare costs.
The Dr. Guerra listed the necessary and preliminary steps for felling trees and that the green census must necessarily be accompanied by an analytical report on each tree, complete with a stability assessment report and the related phytostatic risk in line with standard procedures.
Steps, to date, ignored by those who gave the order to cut down our trees.
There were numerous citizens and associations present, interested in the topic and who intervened in the final debate by asking questions to the speakers for the correct management of green areas”.
